Why
I went to Las Vegas?
It all started with a class field trip.
We needed to get out and about and see some
of the finer things in life. The whole school
wanted to come but we could only afford
the one bus.
We arrived in Las
Vegas and checked into our hotel "The
Lost City of Atlantis"
The lights in Las
Vegas are just "wow!" The whole
skyline is just a neon glow.
I was all prepared.
I'd brought lots of cash and I was ready
to win!!
The
Casino
Oh! The Casino in
the hotel was just fantastic!! They had
every type of game you could imagine, Blackjack,
Roulette, Slot Machines, Rummie and a Wheel
of Fortune. The atmosphere was electric
and everything was so exciting! I was winning
and winning and then....I was losing and
losing.

What you
might find in Las Vegas
- Casinos (everywhere)
- Movie stars
(if you look closely)
- Elvis
- Aliens
- An empty
wallet

That's the thing with
gambling - you need to know your limits
and be prepared to lose. I can say that
now (now that I've been to Gambler's Anonymous)
but back then it was all a ritzy dream.
I was dreaming of fast cars and a luxury
lifestyle - I'd forgotten what reality was.
And then I lost the
school... but that's another story.
